More than 90 students with special needs from the Avon Maitland District School Board, including Katie Bernard (right, in purple top) and Emily Bauer, were paired up with Mitchell District High School (MDHS) students’ Taya Cornish (back, left) and Emma French for a day of fun in the sun on Wednesday, May 17.
